SYNOPSIS

       #include <zip.h>

       const char * zip_get_file_comment(struct zip *archive, zip_uint64_t index, int *lenp, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

       The  zip_get_file_comment function returns the comment for the file at position index in the zip archive.  This pointer should not be modi-

       and the error code in archive is set to indicate the error.
